After the Fire.

The fire Of last Wednesday
night, brlef mention of which waa
made last week, was one of the
most disastrous tlat our Town has
ever suffered.
The building, touched by the
flames were consumed Ia cinders.
An estimate of the loss divides
it as follows: Work d. Baker. on
stock 5000. insurance $500
Cooley Dc MllIiner, 2,200, lnsur-
ance $1,000; Elsie d McLain
5000 no insurance; Mrs. Life
Warner 81, 100, fully insured
Lewis McGill $3.50, no insurance;
Homer L. Wright, loss on four
buildings $1,000 and no insur-
ance; j. Rochester & Sons, oae
building $1,000, insurance 81, 600.
The insurance companies have
promptly adjusted all the losses.
The parties all burned out have
all taken new quarters. Cooley
L Millner are over GuIhries store.
Work & Baker. and Elsie g. Nc
Lain, Whose name as one Of the
sufferers, was Inadvertently emit
led in the mention last week, ARE
in comfortable quarters at the
Grange building on South Null
berry. DR.. Campbell has his of
tice in Burberry's 0uilding-ihe

has removed his Office 10 his res
idence. aud Mr.. Lowry occupies
the Prosecuting Attorneys office
in the Court House.
Mr.. and Mrs. Warner are living
with Mr. and Mrs. Buerhaus.-
Mrs. Haines and Mr.. McG,ll are
continuing business.
at this writing no determine
has been made by Mr.. Wright
and the Rochesters as 10 the
character of buildings that will
be erected. 1T Is hoped that the
new structures, IN this most de-
sirable part OF The city, will be
ornaments 10 the town and In
vestments profitable to the pro-
prietors.

Gen. John Fl. Wolff, of" tours, T"
has been appointed special po-
liceman for the Opera House.

Gen. John Fl. Wolff, Of tours"
has been appointed special po-
liceman for the Opera House.
This is an excellent appoint
ment. and a sensible thing to do.
the Opera House is the Peoples
House. 1t is public place where
the invitation is given TO all to
come. When the public attend an
entertainment, as so many do,
they are entitled to protection,
Heretofore it has not been posi-
BILE for the management to guard
the approaches and at The same
time to care for the hall and gall
cry.
Rude boys would gather on The
pavement and infest the etair-
way. Reckless and drunken men
would obstruct the entrance. The
regular city police would have
calls of duty elsewhere, and il
has often oct urred that ladies
and gentlemen have retreated
and gone home rather than run
the gauntlet Of the hoodluins on
curb and stairway. The appoint
ment of Mr. Wolff as special po.
lice to protect, not the Opera
House, but the people who visit
it for an evenings entertainment
is proper thing 10 have done,
and will guarantee order and
quiet at this place, and only
place in our city of public resort
for the father anj his family.
We hope Policeman Wolff will
promptly arrest every man and
boy about the Opera House whose
conduct is noisy and disorderly
and In any way improper.

[From Titusville Blizzard,
Speaking from a strictly theat.

at the Opera House on Saturday
night was the finest OF the pres

standard of all former seasons.
"Mav Blossom, or the Fisher

constructed, giving those who
represent it's realistic characters
q rare opportunity to act out ma

ed by me, but accepted as only
condescentions, and not at all as
